2014 Graduations: Make Your Party Stand Out Above the Rest


So you've got a graduate in the family, which means it's time to start planning a celebration! Whether your child is finishing preschool, high school, or college, you'll definitely want to invite friends and family to join the party! The Class of 2014 graduates will no doubt have a few parties to attend, so make your party something to remember.

1.             Pick an un-popular date. Many people schedule their party the weekend after graduation, so steer clear of those dates. You would have a smaller turn-out because of so many other commitments. Wait a couple of weeks and then throw the big bash.
2.             Plan the food. Food is a great ice-breaker because it gives people something to do. There's something about holding a plate of food that makes it easier to mingle and talk. Go traditional with the grilled meat and salads, order pizza, or do something totally unexpected like sushi and a salad bar. It doesn't matter too much as long as there is food, and lots of it.
3.             Provide entertainment. If you want people to stick around (especially teenagers) invest in some things to keep them having fun. Rent a photo booth, a mechanical bull, or a dunking tank. Hire a DJ to come in and spin the tunes and turn your yard into an outdoor dance party.
4.             Send guests home with a personalized gift. Candy bars with a personalized wrapper are the perfect way to say "Thanks for coming to the party!" You can personalize it by adding a special photo of the graduate, and include any special sentiments, including a poem, a joke, or the guest of honor's name. You can use the school colors, or pick out a unique style such as a wrapper that looks like a cell phone. Get creative and when people tear themselves away from the party, they'll have a little treat they can tear into later to remember what a good time they had.
Congratulations to your graduate! If you're ready to start planning your party and need to create a custom candy bar wrapper, contact us. It will be a great asset in making your party special and unique.
